We Do Me Too

Recently, I was curious about how couples are using wedding resources- specifically websites that are NOT The Knot or Wedding Wire.

So, I did what I always do, and I just straight up asked them.

And now I'm sharing one of the results with the world, because I think as you're deciding on where to invest your marketing dollars for next year, this is important to note.

I find this information interesting, because this means that they are trusting wedding websites/blogs other than TK and WW. Makes sense though, because oftentimes, these websites are run by PEOPLE, not corporations. :)

(Also, take note of the budget differences too.)

To help you plan the perfect destination wedding, we’re answering a few of the most common etiquette questions below.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Do we need to cover travel costs for guests? - generally speaking, no. It’s commonly understood that travel costs for a destination wedding are the responsibility of the guests attending, however you should be covering food and drink throughout the wedding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️When should we send out save the dates? - Remember, destination weddings require plenty of planning for both you and your guests. We’d recommend sending your save the dates at the 12-month mark, and following up with formal invitations at between 6-8 months out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Is it okay to request a gift? - Because your guests will be covering their travel expenses to join you for your wedding, it’s generally understood that gifts are not required. Their presence on the day should be considered their present. You might want to make a note on your wedding website to ensure your guests are on the same page.
